Non Z51 ‘22 HTC delivered 12/2/21. No problems at 7500 fun miles.

With an asterisk. On the way home from BG delivery a weird, random occasional stumble reared its head. Felt like it was in the tranny, so I became quite concerned, what with all the tranny gloom and doom here in the Forum. No codes and infrequent enough I decided to wait until 7500 mile service to take it up with my dealer. Within 3 weeks, it stopped occurring! Just had the service done and fully passed the service shop’s rigorous inspection.

All good…

All of my Corvettes have been mostly problem free and the few problems I did have were easy and quick fixes.

4200 trouble free miles on my C8. I picked it up on 9/14/21.

I started a thread like this before I picked it up last September and had a member roast me for it on my thread. I don't see that person posting much any more. Good thread!

We have nothing wrong with our C8 either - we have met at least 4 dozen C8 owners at local car shows in central Florida and no one so far has said they had problems....
and we always remember to ask.

No wonky transmissions, headlight problems, electrical gremlins etc. As always pics are welcome.

IMO Zeus Bronze is one of the most underrated colors. In the sunshine it looks wicked cool 👍

5 Month and 5000 miles on my 2022 C8 LT3 HTC and the only issue was the constantly on headlights. Chevy fixed that with an over-the-air update. Didn't even have to take it to the shop.

I hope you feel better soon. I am about three weeks out from getting my left knee replaced. I haven't driven my 2021 since early June. I can't get in it. It sucks!
